Expert Verdict
1,4-Dioxane and ethylene oxide contamination from ethoxylation process. Very limited independent toxicological data published - fewer commercial products use this versus the linoleate variant.. Water-soluble PEG ether ester. The palmitate (C16 saturated) chain gives a slightly firmer texture and different skin feel compared to the linoleate (C18:2 unsaturated) counterpart. The 200 EO units provide high water solubility.
